Weapon sway is affected by four variables: the strength requirement for the weapon, whether you're crouched or not, your guns skill, and the condition of the gun. If you hover over the gun in your pip-boy, it gives the ideal gun skill on the left, and the strength requirement on the right. If you don't meet these, your weapon sway is usually really noticeable. If you meet/surpass them, it's incredibly minimal. A mod isn't needed if you understand how it works.
